Figure 6. Overview of P450-HEME-IM4 complex and its binding pocket.

Figure 6

The one conformation of MD-based optimized structure. Imidacloprid is indicated with light blue carbon atoms and the HEME is showed with grass green atoms. Predicted binding residues within 4 Å of imidacloprid are showed in pink. Phe-124 and Asp-290 anchor imidacloprid by aromatic interactions, and generate significant part of the contact surface area. Imidacloprid may be further stabilized by hydrogen bonded with Pro-375 and Pro-289.
